I am a birth mother of which Nicole helped me to locate my daughter that I placed for adoption. Her story is one of courage, endurance and success. She is one of the most special people I have ever come to know even though I have never met her in person. I would love to see her continue to write more about locating a birth parent or child. I know I probably would never have met my daughter if it had not been for her. Great Read!

I am a cousin to the author's birth mother, which is why I bought the book! Now, I am grateful for the revelation, because I may not have otherwise even have known of it's existence. The book is very well written, and the story is heartwrenching, invigorating, and so real! My husband is also adopted and never chose to find his birth parents. He is such a wonderful man that I regret his birth parents never got to meet him. I loved the book and all it's honesty. I think it should be a "Book" choice for Oprah. What a great story and what a happy ending/beginning!

I am one of the author's aunts and I can't tell you how moved I was about Nicole's story; afterall, she was a stranger to me for over thirty years.
Yet, I was there during my sister's ordeal, but never knew the extent of the pain and heartache she endured...until I read "One Life". Reading about Nicole's life was inspiring, surprising, and gut-wrenching all at the same time. Not only is the book well written, it is inspiring to know what strength is inside each and everyone of us to endure, seek, and ultimately find our selves.
